My first impression of Boo Radley is that he's somewhat peculiar, because he stays inside his house all the time. However, he also has reasons for hiding, because of what happened to him when he was younger. I think that a few of the rumors may be somewhat true, but most of them are not. In the middle of the first chapter, on page 11, Scout says, "Jem received most of his information from Miss Stephanie Crawford, a neighborhood scold, who said she knew the whole thing", which supports this theory. The people of Maycomb probably tell rumors about Boo Radley because he is eccentric.
I am probably most similar to Scout. Scout seems afraid of Boo Radley and nervous about getting involved with him. I would probably react similarly to her after hearing the stories; I wouldn't particularly want to try to make him come out of his house. In a way, though, I'd also be a bit similar to Dill. I'd get a little excited as well as nervous after talking about all the rumors.
